WHY VISIT A NATURAL PRACTITIONER?
With your involvement I can interpret signs and symptoms, and perform tests to discover the state of the body. I am then able to find the causes and recommend a treatment that will not just alleviate the symptoms. WHAT TESTS DO I USE? Tongue & Nail analysis Iris analysis - The iris has 20,000 nerve endings, which relate to every part of the body. Your body has been designed with an in-built condition monitor! Iris analysis enables me to find inherited weakness and those created in your lifetime, even if symptoms are not yet evident. Urine analysis - What the kidneys are eliminating tell much about how the body is operating. Think of what you could discover about a household if you analyzed the wastewater. A key factor is urine pH (acid or alkaline state), which is an indictor of the pH of body tissues. This factor affects the ability of the body to absorb nutrients from your food or supplements. Live Blood Analysis - A drop of blood from a simple prick of the finger is immediately examined under a microscope to check for blood cell function, detect parasites, liver stress, etc. Red blood cells live about 120 days giving a long-term picture of deficiencies etc. Dried blood analysis - Originally developed by Dr. Bolden as a cancer marker to monitor the effectiveness of his treatments and the patient's ability to cope with them. The FDA has approved it as a cancer marker. The technique was taken up, developed and taught by Dr Bradford (HLB) and US Biologics (Clot retraction test - CRT) as a powerful and accurate indicator of body malfunction. I have learned a combination of both schools as well as the results of independent research. The technique depends on the clotting of a drop of blood and gives a history of inflammation, chemicals, toxins, deficiencies, as well as system and organ function from 20 yrs ago up to the present day. WHAT TREATMENTS DO I PRESCRIBE? Nutritional supplements and herbal medicines - discussed below. Dietary and lifestyle changes -We can do much to help ourselves by adopting alternative ways of doing things in our life so as to obey natural laws. I am here to guide you in the process. Remember, nothing changes, if nothing changes. If you want health changes, you must be willing to do what is needed to make them happen. Simple things you can do at home There are simple things you can do at home to help yourself I may suggest some these as part of the treatment. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE How long did it take the body to get into its present state? Chronic disease requires chronic treatment. Acute conditions can be corrected in weeks or days; chronic conditions may take months, or, in a few cases, even years. When a downward trend in health occurs, the trend has to be slowed, stopped, and then reversed. This may take a while, and will depend on the individual constitution, lifestyle, and compliance with the treatment program. However, relief of symptoms can often be achieved quite promptly using natural therapies. This can make life much more bearable, but unless we address lifestyle, diet, nutrition, and factors in your environment, the degeneration of health will continue. WHY NATUROPATHIC THERAPIES?
WHY NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE? The estimated approximate annual cost of poor nutrition in Australia is $6 billion. This does not necessary mean poor diet, although the great majority of Australians are on an incorrect diet. Absorption of nutrients is very often poor due to the effects of chemicals in food and the environment; stress; unrecognized infections; and imbalances in the intestinal tract. Extra nutrients are used to render toxic material harmless, remove it from the body, and repair the damage done. Nutrition and lifestyle plays a role in many, some professionals claim all, disease. The Big Three most common causes of death in Australia: heart disease, cancer and stroke, account for 63% of all deaths, and are preventable. Why Supplements Alcohol - is a toxin in it's own right. The liver uses nutrients, especially B vitamins to detoxify it. It also affects the absorption, availability, and metabolism of nutrients Smoking - A mixture of an amazing array of very toxic substances which have to be dealt with. Any detoxification requires nutrients. Junk food - Are low in vitamins, but require A high level of nutrients to use them and to detoxify the toxic substances that they contain. Antibiotics - Kill friendly bacteria that produce vitamins, and destroy toxins Tea & Coffee |
